That should have been a black card to Cavanagh but i think it was the linesman who made the call not the ref in thos instance. Terribke decision regardless and would have changed the game

A blind man could see monaghan were robbed. Obviously they got wrong calls in their favour but on the balance of the whole game he was very biased towards tyrone. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 13/08/2018 07:18:23 2132509 Link 0 |

Tyrone got a lot more soft frees within scoring distance though..Black cards should have been given at times and were not. Its not Tyrones fault, let me get that out there first, and Tyrone probably shaded the game in my opinion, but a little bit of parity would have been nice..

From a neutral point of view the referee gave some easy frees to both sides and missed some blatant fouls from both sides. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1333 - 13/08/2018 08:42:44 2132526 Link 1 |

They weren't robbed. A few decisions went against them, but then so did Tyrone. At the end of the match I had a feeling Monaghan were hard done by, but I went back and rewatched the match last night, replaying various touching points. No doubt there were some harsh calls. But they got away with a lot too, and Tyrone were harshly penalised as well. McManus seems to be very well protected and gets some very handy frees every match. I felt both teams could feel aggrieved at various points. My one big thing to take from this, is how hard it was to referee a match like that. Two Ulster teams going at each other like that, he was bound to miss things. Refs on a hiding to nothing Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2382 - 13/08/2018 09:13:32 2132531 Link 1 |

He got up and went striaght to the linesman complaining and then the umpire who actually appeared to shake his head at him. Next break in play McAnespie gets booked.

I've no problem with refs making mistakes during games; they're only human. The problem I have with refs is their obsession with blowing the whistle when it is often impossible to discern who the guilty party is or even if there is a guilty party. Surely if there is any doubt about a foul play should just continue, which would make the game more free-flowing. Instead, refs seem to blow the whistle whenever they're in doubt. At the moment refs are just ruining games blowing the whistle constantly, either wrongly, or for 50 50 situations. What are they trying to prove? All they're doing is destroying the spectacle and frustrating players and supporters. Perhaps the GAA needs to simplify the rules in order to prevent 80% of tackles and collisions resulting in frees?

No the Monaghan player done the pulling. Oldest trick in book. Should have being a Tyrone free.

Listen I haven't seen the game back but from my view both teams benefited from a few soft calls in their favour. Cavanagh free as well as Hughes getting a very soft one into the hill at one stage for examples. Every game has tight calls and some go for you and some go against. Happens every time you take the field. There is a tendency for the losing team in a close match to bemoan those that go against and wonder what might have been but that ignores the calls they did get. Referees have a tough job and they'd be helped greatly if we were all a little bit more mature when discussing the winning and losing of games.

I can't recall the ref blowing one "mark" at all, maybe he forgot! Its a tough job for one man, the two linesmen are fully qualified ref's and totally redundant yet there are four "unqualified" umpires making life and death calls - weird system. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 13/08/2018 12:48:11 2132675 Link 0 |
